NIB RC10 Worlds Car (before the rere was released) bought for 120 Euros, sold for £850.

Partially complete boxed RC10 Worlds Car (before rere), bought for 100 Euros, sold body for £70, chassis for £80 and wheels for £50. Kept the other bits to restore my shelf worlds car :)

Ahhh - back in the day when a Worlds car was a real jewel in any RC10 fan's collection - now their 'special-ness' seems to have been diluted by the Re-issue?

Back in 2009/2010 I picked up this rather sorry looking Worlds off ebay for £23!

Which after a few new parts & plenty of elbow grease, looked like this;

I never understand why the rerelease of a car dilutes the value of an original period car? I would rather have a real Dali on the wall than a print. Maybe I am the only one who would rather have an original. Nice car, I sold my RC10 project to fund others.. :(

Last year I picked up this lot for a very very very good price it may not look like much to some but I could get at least 6 times what I paid for it all for just one of those chassis

The way prices are going I'd want more than what I paid for it all for that nip Protech body alone

Unfortunately it does, that's the reality I'm afraid. Look at the selling prices/trend of original NIB Optima's now.

Let's stick to Tomy's.....very very very unlikely to be rereleased! Very!

That's not the first time I've heard that I think they pop up on there a lot that's why I've never had anything off there.

fidspeed 30-09-2016 03:28 PM

first time scammed off gumtree to be fair

did get an almost unrun bosscat (so unrun its still got cellophane on alloy side frames )touring with period gear 50 quid posted couple of weeks ago so swings and roundabout

never the less will be more suspect in future :D

Good work Dave, I've recently acquired a Cat EC, but I want to get all the option parts for it. Wish I had my own Cat and Bosscat, sadly long gone.

eddscott 25-10-2016 01:48 PM

Haven't bought anything for a while but last couple of buys have been pretty decent scores.

Not much over £100 for a XXX4 and loads of spares.

About £150-170 for a NIB sealed MR4 BX (Can't remember if it's worlds or factory)

Both from JAUCE.
